Abstract: Digressing into the origins of the two main algorithms considered in the literature of adaptive learning, namely Least Squares (LS) and Stochastic Gradient (SG), we found a connection between their non-recursive forms and their interpretation within a state-space unifying framework. Based on such connection, we extend the correspondence between the LS and the Kalman filter recursions to a formulation with time-varying gains of the former, and also present a similar correspondence for the case of the SG. Our correspondences hold exactly, in a computational implementation sense, and we discuss how they relate to previous approximate correspondences found in the literature.
